John Torrance

From a script he co-adapted from the Stephen King novel, Kubrick melds vivid performances, menacing settings, dreamlike tracking shots and shock after shock into a milestone of the macabre. In a signature role, Jack Nicholson ("Heeeere's Johnny!") plays Jack Torrance, who's come to the elegant, isolated Overlook Hotel as off-season caretaker with his wife (Shelley Duvall) and son (Danny Lloyd). Torrance has never been there before - or has he? The answer lies in a ghostly time warp of madness and murder.

Aspiring-writer Jack Torrance accepts a job as a caretaker at the Overlook Hotel during an icy Oregon winter so he can write his book. But the hotel has a macabre history that soon begins to worm its way into the present through the medium of his psychic son, Danny. Elegantly disturbing images ensue as Jack's writer's block gives way to derangment and his son sensitivity to the paranormal peels back the layers of history.

Jack Torrance se muda junto con su familia al hotel Overlook, donde ha sido contratado como encargado de mantenimiento mientras las instalaciones permanecen cerradas durante el duro invierno de cinco meses. Su idea es escribir su novela al tiempo que cuida de las instalaciones durante esos largos y solitarios meses, pero desde su llegada al hotel Jack comienza a padecer inquietantes transtornos de personalidad, al mismo tiempo que en el lugar comienzan a suceder diversos fenómenos paranormales.
